 This post dates back to 2009 and shows the Royal Scot class loco storming Beattock bank and then departing the loop at Abington. Also thrown in are shots of some diesels.


 This post is all about the modern railway. Whilst on my way to Somerset I stopped off at Bescot near Birmingham and then Pilning near Bristol. The video portrays equipment that was current during 2005.

Leander on the West Coast mainline


 This video features Jubilee Leander on the West Coast mainline. It starts at a spot just north of Oxenholme and then moves north of the border to Greskine on Beattock bank. We then follow Leander by car, sorry about the trees, to Beattock Summit and onwards to the loop at Abington. From there the train is seen just north of Abington and finally going through Holytown station. Enjoy.
